31-35 quai de l'Oise, 19th Arr. Paris, Île-de-France, France, 75019, 33-1-40380404
Well last night was one of the slowest of my life but we're through now and in Paris. Got some dinner and then hung out at St Pancras International Train Station waiting for our 5:25am train to Paris. In the 12 hours we were there I got about an hours sleep and we spent the rest of the time playing cards and reading. I finished 'Between a Rock and a Hard Place', the autobiography of the American climber who after being trapped by the arm in a canyon for 5 days, cut off his arm with a blunt ut...
Paris, Īle-de-France, France bananaz70Well its day two, and yes i've managed to get myself a pretty nasty dose of the flu. However because we're only in paris until tommorow I couldn't really afford a day in bed. So we ended up having a massive day on the town. Started out by finding the Eiffel Tower and having a look at this with a few pictures thrown in. We decided not to climb it due to the lines and high prices. After that we found our way to the Arc de Triomphe, which is a giant arc/monument at the centre of the roundabout f...
Paris, France bananaz70Greetings All! Feeling much better than I was yesterday. We had a good meal and sat up chatting to a Brit and an Aussie in the hostel. No surprise that half the conversation was the British guys shock that I live 2 minutes from "Ramsay St", I cant see what the big deal is hehe, I would take Abbey Road anyday. Anyway, dragged ourselves out of bed today and after storing the packs (we've checked out of the hostel), we went and checked out the Paris Science Museum (Don't even ask me to attempt i...
Paris, France bananaz70My 2nd day in Paris was magical as the first the weather was pure perfection it was springtime at it's best. This was the type of day that exactly described Billie Holiday's "April in Paris" song. It wasn't quite April but with weather doing funky things it was April in Paris. Our day began with meeting up with Waleed just when you thought this guys is sweet, funny and smart he meets up with us wearing a Dolce & Gabbana white shirt I was sure this would be a hit with Angela I think his st...

... going to see "Uncle Fred and Jim" as Conrad put it. We wandered around the grounds, which encompass 136 acres. We visited the graves of Chopin & Jim Morrison, of course. We also stumbled upon the grave of a woman, whose actual name I cannot recall at the moment. But what made us visit it was the fact that on the map it was listed as "Sextoy". We wanted to see if that was explained at all at the grave. It was in fact ...
Paris, Île-de-France, France themattsHoje a tarde, decidi vir a um dos muitos museus gratis de Paris: Museu Carnavalet. Dessa vez fui mais safa pra bolar logo a rota de metrô. O Museu trata da historia de Paris desde os primordios com a tribo dos Parisii ate os tempos modernos.Comecei o passeio alucinada, querendo ler cada explicaçao e tirar trocentas fotos ( até conseguir acabar com a bateria) e felizmente caiu uma ficha ...
Paris, France blanchedubois... from NZ where there are parks like One Tree Hill and The Domain throughout the city we aren't desperate for some greenery or a back yard for our apartment! It was an adventure though and I can assure anyone coming to visit, it is not on the number 10 list! After finding my way home I thought I would wander down to some markets and maybe buy something to cheer myself up...walked for about 40minutes and ended up in an area of Paris that felt like the Bronx. It is amazing how ...
Paris, France joeychiken... the other collections housed at the museum. Several pieces - some famous, most less so - by Matisse, Renoir, Derain and Picasso - mainly from their early, less well-known days. After an afternoon of immersion in art, Mom and I returned to the hotel, where Dad was expecting us. We had a great dinner at L'Entracte, near the Opera, to celebrate the end of our trip to France. The next day, we would get on the bus to CDG in the morning (Mom tricked us on getting there hyper-early ...
Paris, Île-de-France, France hsb... is that the only animals I see here, day to day, are cats, pigeons and dogs. The dogs are a bit of an eye opener: the first time I saw one on the metro I did a double take. They seem to be allowed everywhere. I keep nearly tripping over the really tiny ones when I'm running for the metro in the morning. Bit of a hazard. I quite like the big ones, the alsations and Labradors, but it is a bit disconcerting to see them sniffing the towels and plates in Muji. The ones that ...
Paris, France charlotte_bovis... find it, and get checked in. She is in the girls dorm and I'm in the guy's dorm. We finally made it to Paris...what a day, and it's only 5:00 PM. We take a few minutes to rest then we decided to go see the city. I didn't want to walk around with this dumb chick, but it looks like I'm in it for the long hall. Our hostel is one block from the Louve. It was a great recommendation, and it only cost 26 Euro a night. We walk in to the back part of the Louve and saw the courtyard ...
